Re: pacman wrapper to allow source builds (srcpac)

ok, dredging up an old thread, but didn't want to start a new srcpac thread.

Once abs is able to hit the AUR, srcpac is going to be invaluable!

One thing though, as I've just begun messing with srcpac - if I use srcpac exclusively, and let's say I setup some configure options for vim in srcpac.conf - when vim7 is released, will "srcpac -Syu" catch it, understand it was compiled from source, and recompile?

Re: pacman wrapper to allow source builds (srcpac)

Ah, yes. Thank you. I also noticed that the -o option actually changes the PKGBUILD, so if it takes a little bit of experimenting to get it correct one may have to update the PKGBUILD from cvs to get it back to its original condition. Here is a patch to srcpac that sends the output to stout without ever modifying the PKGBUILD.

Re: pacman wrapper to allow source builds (srcpac)

Hi. I just want to know how can I use CFLAGS in srcpac? Doesn't it takes this flags from makepkg.conf???I'm trying to update the whole system using srcpac -Syb, but while installing the firest built package it tells me that some files are existing in my filesystem. The --force option seems not to work in srcpac, so I can't update my system automatically.Sorry for your support. Arch is great distro, I like it very much Sorry for my english
